Been playing for a few weeks now and every area is showing solid progress except one. I don't have usable nails so I use a Kelly Freedom Pick. After striking a string about 30% of the time the pick will end up close enough to the string to make a buzzing or mute it.
Now I understand what needs to be done - I need to keep moving my hand slightly further after a strike. But I just cannot make any progress with it.
I've trimmed the shape of the pick back so it is now quite short. That helped a small amount.
I keep my hand relaxed except for the frailing finger (middle).
I'm sure this must be common. Does anyone have hints or tips? Thanks!
